10 coisas que os homens não reparam em si (apesar de pensar que reparam)

Levante a mão se alguma vez se preocupou com o facto de as suas pestanas se colarem umas às outras!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been worried about matching colors on your outfit! (Don’t worry; I’m sure we’re not the only ones).

Last night I was dressing for a date, and I couldn’t decide which lipstick I should put on—the only difference between the two was that one was a shade brighter than the other one!

So, I applied the first one, and I thought okay, this doesn’t look that bad at all. But, then I decided to try the other one, and the answer was the same.

Por isso, fiquei a olhar para estes dois batons, à espera que começassem a falar comigo ou que, de alguma forma, me enviassem magicamente um sinal sobre qual deles deveria aplicar.

Depois apercebi-me de como sou idiota.

I mean, why I am even bothering so much about it because my date won’t probably even notice that I’m wearing one (let alone if it is one shade brighter or darker)?!

A verdade é que os homens são de outro planeta, and they simply don’t see things as we, women do.

They don’t really notice all those details about your makeup, outfit, shoes, body, and hair that you’re paying so much attention to.

Assim, para se poupar a problemas desnecessários no futuro.

Here are 10 things men don’t really notice about you even though you think they do!

1. As suas estrias

No matter how much guys are self-critical about themselves, they will never beat a woman’s obsession about her stretch marks and “flaws”.

It’s simply in our natures to count and remember every hidden spot of our imperfections and remind ourselves daily of them.

But, the truth is that he doesn’t even notice any of it!

Quando um homem vê o seu corpo nu, fica demasiado hipnotizado por ele para conseguir pensar nas suas imperfeições.

A única coisa que ele vê e sente é que estás nua, a tua bela forma feminina, o toque e o cheiro da tua pele.

As a matter of fact, guys are actually happy to see your stretch marks (especially in your most covered places) because to them, this is something that’s for their eyes only—no one else can see it or know about it. (Weird, I know).

2. Os seus dotes de maquilhagem

While you might be all fussy about applying the perfect amount of mascara so that your eyelashes don’t stick together, guys will only see that you have eyelashes.

While you might be all fussy about applying the perfect lipstick, guys will only see that you’re a woman, you have lips, and you’re wearing lipstick.

They don’t really notice the color of your lipstick or anything else.

They only see that your lips are nicely ‘colored’, and that they will have to be careful about kissing you in public, so that they don’t get ‘colored’, too.

3. A sua escolha de comida num restaurante

Por vezes, as mulheres tendem a preocupar-se demasiado com o que devem comer quando estão com os seus companheiros.

You don’t want to order the XXL burger because you’re afraid that you’ll look funny while desperately trying to open your mouth wide enough in order to be able to consume it.

Or you worry that you’ll order demasiada comida e parecer ridículo à frente dele.

But, guys don’t really pay attention to what you’re eating and especially how much you’re eating.

They only see that you’re eating, you’re healthy, and you’re confident enough to eat that XXL burger and not give a damn about anything else.

4. Os seus quilos a mais

While you might continually question your guy whether you look fat in that dress, he will instantly tell you that you don’t.

If you ask him whether you’ve gained some extra pounds, he will tell you that you didn’t because HE doesn’t notice it!

The only time a guy will notice that you’ve gained some extra pounds is if you become twice as big as you were.

5. Os teus sapatos novos (ou quaisquer sapatos)

Let’s say that you bought new shoes, and you’re about to show them to your guy to ask his opinion.

And the only thing he says is: “Nice shoes.” And the chances are if you didn’t show him, he will never even notice them! And do you know why?

Because they don’t pay that much attention to shoes (as long as you’re not barefoot), and guys’ dictionaries doesn’t have that much space for words about shoes.

They only know about the existence of SHOES—heels, boots, slippers, and that’s about it.

6. As tuas rugas

While you keep counting those wrinkles on your forehead or around your eyes and you even start seriously thinking about getting some Botox, your guy won’t notice any of it if you don’t tell him.

A única coisa que os rapazes vêem é o seu sorriso e como és bonita!

7. As raízes não tingidas e crescidas do seu cabelo

Numa altura em que a tendência é ter raízes crescidas, a verdadeira questão é saber se os homens devem sequer reparar nelas.

Of course, they are not. (And no, they don’t notice them either way.)

A única coisa em que reparam no seu cabelo é se está lavado, se tem um cheiro agradável e se é comprido ou curto.

Esses pormenores, como raízes crescidas, madeixas e outras tretas, simplesmente não são visíveis aos seus olhos.

8. As tuas sobrancelhas

Para todas as mulheres, as sobrancelhas são uma das coisas mais importantes no que diz respeito à beleza do rosto.

Isto porque as sobrancelhas têm o poder de acentuar e moldar o seu rosto da forma mais apresentável.

And while you might be spending hours trying to get the perfect shape, guys don’t really notice your efforts unless your eyebrows look like the Nike logo.

9. As tuas capacidades de combinação de cores

Enquanto tu te preocupas em combinar as tuas meias com a cor das tuas cuecas, os rapazes só se preocupam com o facto de tu ainda teres cuecas (se é que me entendes).

You could match deep pink with beige and some green, and guys won’t notice it.

They only see that you’re wearing clothes, and the only time they’ll notice your matching colors is if you go fluorescent from head to toe.

10. That you’re not wearing makeup

You might go all crazy when you’re not usar maquilhagem, thinking that all of your imperfections will come to light, but guys won’t even notice that you’re not wearing it.

Mesmo sem qualquer sombra, os seus olhos continuam a parecer-lhes brilhantes, os seus lábios continuam a ser atraentes e eles continuam a ver a mesma mulher com o mesmo rosto bonito.

E quando se maquilha, eles são simplesmente incapazes de notar qualquer diferença significativa, a menos que seja algo realmente excêntrico.
